Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing software deployment solutions for enterprise networks with different security requirements incur high costs and complex system architectures due to the need for multiple services and network access control across various regions.
Innovation Solution
A software configuration method that includes receiving a request with a network region identifier, searching for a corresponding function identifier, and feeding back configuration information to enable function implementation based on the region, supporting multi-domain name access and reducing deployment and maintenance costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If multiple services are deployed for different network regions, then network access control and security requirements are met, but deployment cost and system architecture complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple network region access controls into a single service deployment. The configuration management system consolidates the functionality of multiple region-specific services into one unified service that dynamically adapts to different network regions through configuration parameters, thereby reducing system architecture complexity while maintaining network access control capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses parameter changes to enable a single service to serve multiple network regions. By dynamically changing configuration parameters such as network region identifiers and domain names based on the requesting client's location, the system achieves region-specific access control without deploying separate services for each region.
2Reliability
If multiple services are deployed for different network regions, then network access control and security requirements are met, but operation and maintenance cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple region-specific services into a single unified service, which directly reduces operation and maintenance costs. Instead of maintaining multiple separate service instances, the system maintains one service with dynamic configuration capabilities, simplifying deployment, monitoring, and updates while preserving network access control functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal service that can handle requests from multiple network regions through configuration parameters. This multi-functional service replaces multiple specialized services, reducing the overall operational burden and maintenance complexity while meeting the security and access control requirements of different regions.
3Reliability
If different domain names are used for different network regions, then access control requirements are met, but domain name management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses domain name as a configurable parameter that changes based on the network region of the requesting client. The configuration management system automatically determines the appropriate domain name based on the client's network region identifier, eliminating the need for manual domain name management and reducing complexity while maintaining access control.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service for domain name assignment by automatically selecting and configuring the appropriate domain name based on the client's network region. This eliminates manual intervention in domain name management and reduces complexity while ensuring proper access control for different regions.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application disclose a software configuration method and an electronic device. The method includes: receiving a software configuration acquisition request, in which the software configuration acquisition request includes a network region identifier, the network region identifier indicates a network region to which a client from which the software configuration acquisition request originates belongs, and the software configuration acquisition request is used to request configuration information of a function that is allowed to be used; searching for a function identifier corresponding to the network region identifier included in the software configuration acquisition request as a first function identifier; and feeding back configuration information of a function indicated by the first function identifier, so that the client uses the configuration information to implement the function indicated by the first function identifier.
